Personal Life
Since Dhruv Jurel is a 2001-born, that makes him about 24 years old right now, and yes, he was born and brought up in Agra, Uttar Pradesh. He, too, just like so many other talented cricketers out there, started playing cricket when he was in his childhood days, and look how far he has come now. As for his love life, well, nah, he isn’t married yet, but we don’t know for sure who he is in a relationship with either.
Professional Life and IPL Career
Getting his initial exposure in age-group cricket for Uttar Pradesh, Dhruv, who was part of the Indian Under-19 squad that lost the World Cup final in 2020, went on to play in the 2021 Ranji Trophy, his first-class debut. He soon showed his worth as a reliable wicket-keeper batter in domestic List A and T20 matches. His consistency caught the eyes of domestic teams as well as IPL franchises.
Priced at ₹14 crore, Dhruv was bought by the Rajasthan Royals at the 2025 IPL auction. He made his debut that very season and soon became an established hard-hitting finisher in the death overs of an innings. Besides his batting, Dhruv was a superb gloveman backing his bowlers with sharp catches and stumpings. His calm demeanour under pressure and hydra-headed ability to quickly churn out runs have made him one of the key players for the Rajasthan Royals and a rising name in Indian T20 cricket.
